What is cryptojacking?

Cryptojacking is the secret use of your computing device to mine cryptocurrency.

How does it work?

Cryptojacking, also known as cryptocurrency mining, works the following way: some websites run hidden
cryptocurrency mining scripts in your browser without letting you know. They do it to mine cryptocurrencies
by using your computer's CPU to earn money for someone else. As a result, your computer gets loud, hot, and
slow.

How can I avoid it?

You can avoid it and stay protected by downloading the newest version of Opera and turning the built-in ad
blocker with cryptocurrency mining protection on - the feature preventing you from being cryptojacked.

Does Opera profit from the cryptojacking test?

No. The test is safe and only conducted for raising awareness of the mining issue. All cryptocurrencies we
receive from mining in this test will be transferred to a charity organization.
